Its not too bad. I've been going up in mileage for the last month or so. I quit using PS as much and just went to simple 2 cycle which works real well.

diesel here in saskatchewan is 97.9 a litre. I went on a 1380 km round trip camping trip (half pulling small boat) and I used roughly $160-170 in fuel. I didnt do the figurings but im over 20 mpg for sure

I get roughly 17.3 mpg hwy but I'm running with 33"x13.5" tires with Kore system (lifted front end up 3" maybe threw what aerodynamics it had...!?) also got them Road Armor bumpers too... I use to run with cruise on found I get better mileage without... I normally cruise about 70- 75mph...

* Sallyman, where in Sassy-katchie-won are ya? Ithink your mileage is closer to 18+mpg.... 1380km x 0.621 = 856.98 miles
$170.00/97.9/litre = 173.64 litres = 45.84 gals US (roughly) = 18.695miles per US gal
